This Domaine Humbert Frères Vieilles Vignes Fixin is structured and concentrated. The Pinot Noir comes from old vines averaging over 50 years. Aromas of raspberry and spices, plus a light green note. Sweet and smooth on the palate, with aromas of red fruit, complicated by smoky earthy notes. Finishes with good length and lighter tannins than most Fixins.

ABOUT DOMAINE HUMBERT FRÈRES

Brothers Emmanuel (Manou) and Frédéric Humbert are the fourth generation of wine producers at the Humbert family estate. They took over the estate from their parents in 1989 and have steadily improved the quality of their wine ever since. Their wines are highly sought after and excel in harmony and balance. Emmanuel is the dynamic force behind this estate: a thoughtful and passionate man with a great love for wine, food, and rugby. Ten years ago, the Humbert brothers switched roles, with Manou moving to the winery and Frédéric to the vineyard, and they haven't looked back since. Manou, a larger-than-life, rugby-playing winemaker, brings clear definition to his wines. There is noticeable clarity between the brothers' many terroirs in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin—impressive precision indeed................ Read more in the Tab: Winery

ABOUT GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN

Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest wine-producing village in the Burgundian Côte d'Or. Located in the far north of the Côtes de Nuits, the classic style is typically deeper in color, firmer in body, and more tannic in structure than most red Burgundies. Although there were countless underachievers here in the past, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best can develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world...........

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2023 Domaine Humbert Frères Vieilles Vignes Fixin toont geconcentreerde pinot noir met aroma's van framboos, rood fruit en kruiden, een lichte groene noot en subtiele rokerige bodemtonen, soepel van structuur met zachte tannines en een nette lengte. Dankzij die frisse roodfruitnuances en milde tannines harmonieert hij prachtig met gevogelte, varkensvlees, charcuterie en kazen; het fruit snijdt door het vet en de kruiden versterken de aardse, rokerige ondertonen, terwijl lichtere tannines de structuur van het gerecht ondersteunen, en gerechten als langzaam geroosterd varkensvlees met kruiden, kip uit de oven met tijm en citroen of een plankje gerijpte kazen en gemarineerde charcuterie tillen deze wijn misschien nog hoger.

On the domain, the emphasis is on manual working methods, including ploughing, green harvesting, if necessary, thinning of leaves and bunches. The grapes undergo a cool maceration of several days before fermentation in temperature-controlled vats. Over-extraction and too firm tannins are always avoided. All wines mature in Burgundy oak barrels from the forests around Châtillon. 50% new oak for all wines, except for the grand cru Charmes-Chambertin, which is aged on 100% new oak.
